I burnt myself using a microwave wax product. When I took it out of the microwave and put the temperature stick in it, it splashed over my hand, resulting in second degree burns and a permenant scar.
Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience with these types of products?

P.S. I did follow the instructions and heat it for the correct time. I emailed the company to complain and they just ignored me.

I've had the wax pretty hot, but never second degree burns. Don't put in the microwave as long as you did or maybe set the power level to 50%.
You could also use a dilapitory (don't think i spelled that right) instead of hot wax for hair removal.

it seems like such a quick fix couple of sec in a microwave and woopee
stay away form them as the wax is boiling, by the time its cooled it will result in the strip sticking to the skin causing further trouble
it is costly but go to a salon its heated up slowly and temp is maintained, there is so many slaons or mobile beauty therapists who r cutting costs and have good packages
the product you used it very dangerous i would stay well clear of them, its not fair as you think its so quick but forgetting that its boling hot, good luck wiv your scar
just to mention scars propery heal after a few months apply a lavender oil to a carrier oil and massage it in, it works wonders for scars and will help reduce pigment and even ou the skin
good luck!!!!

you would be better going to a beauty salon to get your waxing done. ALWAYS test wax on the back of your hand or the inside of your wrist before applying it to your face or other skin area. Any good beauty therapist would do the same. Aloe vera is good for soothing burns.

No. I don't use that kind of wax just for that reason. I use cold wax by Sally Hanson, which works pretty well. Sometimes I use Nad's, which is a sugar wax. It smells nice and works well.

no, because i know enough to follow the instructions.
you're only supposed to microwave it 30 seconds at a time, until it is the desired consistency... you obviously left it in for too long.
